COSMETIC-PENCIL CON TAINER.

Application filed Augnst 6, 1928. serial No. 297,707.

Our invention relates to cosmetic-pencil containers and refersparticularly to devices of that character so constructed that theopening of the container will automatically extend a desired amount ofcosmeticpeneil.

As cosmetic-pencils are composed of a so highly colored paste or plasticmaterial it is essential'that they be completely covered and protectedwhen in use, and that they may be employed in such a manner that thefingers of the user will not come into contact with the pencil.

It has been found that the most effective method of accomplishingtheabove desirable results is to have the cosmetic-pencil longitudinallymovable within a casing open at one end with means for extending thepencil from, and withdrawing it into,the casing. In order to protect thepencil when it is within the casing, it is necessar to have a "lid, orcover, for the open end 0 the casing,

which must be removed before the pencil,

can be extended for use. 7

Two operations are necessary in the em ploymentof the present knowndevices, first .the cover must be removed. and then by aseparatemechanism, or means, the pencil must be extended beyond thecasing, and the two movements must be reversed in withdrawing the penciland closing the casing. The device of our invention possesses thevaluable feature of combining these two steps of operation into one stepand whereby the opening and closing of the casin automatically extendsand withdraws t e cosmetic-stick. I v

The above-mentioned, and other, novel features of our device will be.evident upon a consideration of our specification and its accompandrawings.

In the fi mpanying drawings. illustrating one form of the device ofour'invention similar parts are designated by similar numerals." Figure1 is a perspective view of one form 'of t e device of our invention inclosed position.

-ing, or cam-way 19 and the annular the back 15 carries H Figure 3 is anend view of Figure 2.

Figure 4. is a section through the line 4-4 1111 of Figure 10.

Figure 12 is a perspective view of the operating member.

The particular form of the device of our invention shown in theaccompanying drawings comprises a casing formed of two members, one ofwhich has the back 15, and the ends 16 and 17 forming the annular bottom18. The side 15 has the arc-shaped 0 e111- 0 e 20. The opposite face ofthe finger grip plate 21.

The other casing member comprisesthe front plate 22 having thelongitudinal flange 23-with the extended lip 24.- and the longitudinalflange 25 with the extended lip 26 and the sprin -guide 27. The front 22has the arc-shape opening or cam-way, 28 and the annular hole 29. Theopposite face of the front 22 carries the finger-grip plate 30.

Positioned within the casing, assembled groin the above describedmembers, is a cylinrical spring holder 31 having the two annular holes32 and 33. A

When thus assembled the holes 20, 29 and 32 are in alignment and thearc-shaped openings 19 and'28 and the hole 33 arein alignment.

ing when the device is inclosed position, comprises a -U-shaped memberhaving the two sides 37, 37 and the cover 38, preferably made from onepiece of metal. The sides 37, 37 have the annular holes 39, 39 inalignment with each other and the annular holes 40, 40in alignment witheach other.

A spin, or bolt, 41 passes through the holes 39, 29, 20 and 39 and a in,or bolt 42 passes through the hole 40, t e arc-shaped opening 19, thehole 33, the arc-shaped opening 28 and the hole 40.

The operation of the device is lows Figure 1 represents the device inclosed position, the cosmetic pencil 36 having been withdrawn into thedevice and the open end of the casing being covered by the cover portion38 of the operating member. In order to present the pencil 36 for use,the

as foloperating member is revolved upon the' pivot '41, thus causing thepin 42 to move within the arc-shaped openings 19 and 28, thiscam-movement causing the springholder 31 to revolve upon the pin 41,forcing the spring 34, the pencil-carrier 35 and .the pencil 36upwardly, thus exposing the pencil 36 for use.

A reverse movement of the operating member causes the spring'34 to bedrawn downwardly and around the spring holder 31 thus withdrawing thepencil 36, the complete movement of the operating arm causing the member38 to cover the open end of the casing. It will thus be seen that thecam-movement caused by the movement of the operating member either opensthe device and extends the pencil, or withdraws the pencil and closesthe device. 1

Our invention, therefore, presents a device of the character describedin which the cosmetic pencil is protected when the device is in closedposition and in which any desired length of pencil will be disclosed bysimply opening the device by moving the operating member.

We'do not limit ourselves to the particular size, shape, number,arrangement or material of parts as shown and described as these aregiven simply as a means for clearly describing our invention.
